Thanks for the ideas for the talk folks. I'll try my best to cover the topics you suggest and hope we can have a good discussion throughout the three day conference. Thanks for the warm welcome. As always, I'm excited to be visiting...and seeing you all.

Best,
Barry

Barry,

In last Wikimania, Jimmy Wales gave a "Global Wikipedian of the year"
award for the phenomenal work done in Khazak Wiki.

But, we couldn't learn in detail about their work.

Similarly, there will be many growing global Wikipedia communities
that face challenges and yet do a great work.

useful for us to learn how they do it.

So, in essence, I would like your talk to be about growing globall
communities. Not about Indian Wiki communities :)
